The Go community’s stanza is you should never do backwards-incompatible
changes, AIUI. Personally, I’d publish a new library under a different
import path.

I think we’d most likely have to patch packages which have not yet been
updated.

Indeed. Currently, when building, I get:

# github.com/googlecloudplatform/gcsfuse/fs
src/github.com/googlecloudplatform/gcsfuse/fs/fs.go:203: cannot use fs
(type *fileSystem) as type fuseutil.FileSystem in argument to
fuseutil.NewFileSystemServer:
*fileSystem does not implement fuseutil.FileSystem (wrong type for
CreateFile method)
have CreateFile(context.Context, *fuseops.CreateFileOp) error
want CreateFile(*fuseops.CreateFileOp) error

I might be able to take a look at that later this evening, but if you
happen to know what the issue is, that might save me some time. I’m
guessing one of the dependencies was changed in a backwards-incompatible
way :).
